The unidentified accuser, who's now 23, recanted his statement through a law firm and noted that he and Clash had an "adult consensual relationship." The accuser did not, however, formally apologize to Clash.

"We are pleased that this matter has been brought to a close, and we are happy that Kevin can move on from this unfortunate episode," Sesame Workshop said in a statement on its website Tuesday. Added Clash in his own statement: ""I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further."

The accuser initially approached show executives in June with claims that he became involved with Clash seven years prior, according to a statement from Sesame Workshop. Clash, 52, denied claims that they were involved when the accuser was underage, and an investigation by Sesame Workshop also revealed that the underage allegation was "unsubstantiated." However, according to the organization's original statement, the "investigation did reveal that Kevin exercised poor judgment and violated company policy regarding Internet usage and he was disciplined."
